What is recorded here

At HWM close to N end of Cladach an tSiúite, 'the field of the contentions' (pers. comm. T. Robinson), on N shore of Inis Meáin. In 1933, Mac Domhnaill (Topgr. Files, NMI) described this as 'Site of ancient battle — skeletons reported uncovered here from time to time'. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
